Alexisonfire vocalist Wade MacNeil reveals rehab stint

"The day after the alexis tour ended in January I went to rehab. I've struggled with addiction issues and depression for a long time. I've never spoken about it in any public way because I felt guilty and ashamed. Not being able to control that aspect of my life caused so much pain and sadness. Last year I was in hell. "But, the last few months in treatment have been a life changing experience. I was finally able to look at all the things I'd been stuffing down and numbing out for years. I feel ok in my own skin for maybe the first time in my life. I actually woke up happy this morning...IT'S FUCKED! I wanted to share this because I've got some hope now and I haven't had that for a very long time. Seems like we all could use a little more hope in these weird days. So, I thought it's time to get real with everybody. 'There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in'."
